REGISTER HERE
NOTE: Squirts (3-5 year olds) ONLY COMPLETE CLUB REGISTRATION.
Please read the following information carefully as there are a few changes for 2025.
Your total registration fee is made up of:
- club registration fee
- Football Queensland affiliation fee
- Football Australia affiliation fee
Last season, all fees were rolled into one amount and paid via Squadi. The applicable amounts were then paid back to either the club, Football Australia or held by Football Queensland.
The registration process has changed for 2025 and will now be a 3-step process:
- Club registration and registration fee payment via club website
- Football Queensland registration and affiliation fee payment via Squadi
- Football Australia registration and affiliation fee payment via FA's new platform LetsPlayFootball
WHY IS THE REGISTRATION PROCESS CHANGING?
The club has opted to return to collecting club fees directly for a couple of reasons:
- Easier set up and management of payment plans
- More flexibility for players in terms of payment options and timelines
- Easier management of FairPlay vouchers
- Cost of transaction fees paid by the club (the club paid $7000 in transaction fees via Squadi last season).
Football Australia has opted to implement their own registration system, meaning they collect their affiliation fees directly.
WHAT PAYMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN EACH REGISTRATION PLATFORM?
Club fees can be paid in full via credit card / debit card / bank transfer or paid over time via an approved payment plan (applied for at time of registration). FairPlay vouchers can be applied.
Football Queensland fees (ranging from $50 - $130) are to be paid directly to FQ via Squadi and can be paid in full via credit card/debit card or via instalment plans (4 monthly payments). FQ FEES CANNOT BE INCLUDED IN YOUR CLUB PAYMENT PLAN - THEY MUST BE PAID DIRECTLY TO FQ VIA SQUADI.
Football Australia fees (ranging from $15 - $35) are to be paid directly to FA via LetsPlayFootball. No information is currently available on payment options. FA FEES CANNOT BE INCLUDED IN YOUR CLUB PAYMENT PLAN - THEY MUST BE PAID DIRECTLY TO FA VIA LETSPLAYFOOTBALL.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?
This change in process has really only added one additional step for most people as, last season, players were required to complete a club registration via the website and Squadi registration. While the addition of the separate FA registration may seem overwhelming, it really won't take that much extra time.
The biggest change is in how payment is made. The change in payment process for FA registration is out of our hands however separating the club away from Squadi will allow us to allocate more of our fees to improving our players' experience via better fields, equipment and environment.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Registrations will open via the club website and Squadi on Monday 25 November. Complete your club registration first - a link to Squadi will then be provided.
If you wish to pay your registration costs off over time, I recommend you register early to allow yourself as much time as possible to complete payment.
If you have a FairPlay voucher, apply it during the registration process when asked. We are unable to reimburse vouchers after payment has been made.
KANGAROOS 2025 - If you have received and accepted an offer of a place in one of the Kangaroo teams for 2025, please make your $200 payment when you register - you do not need to pay the entire registration fee, just the $200 deposit.
The new Football Australia system will open on 2 December and information will be provided when available.
ALL THREE REGISTRATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED AND PAYMENT FINALISED PRIOR TO TAKING THE FIELD FOR THE FIRST GAME OF YOUR SEASON. PLAYERS WILL NOT APPEAR ON TIMESHEETS WITHOUT ALL THREE REGISTRATIONS BEING FINALISED.
